PHIL!
That is the wrong toy in that part of Max and you know it.
Scourge NOT Optimus Prime.

As it's Fortress and not Brave he can be permitted this change.

No. If it was Brave Max I would be similarly outraged. It is Fortress so we can let that slide.

It is not RiD Fort Max, therefore Scourge cannot command him.
Similarly, G1 Max died before Optimus got that body, so G2 Optimus can't be there, either.

He must stay in his SDCC box for another day or two. Lurgy is sapping my strength. There is a lot of box to free him from.

Probably you. I am leaving it until a day I can properly enjoy the experience.

I think it's definitely worth leaving it a day or two just to bask in the gloriousness of the packaging. Maybe his vision will have healing powers...

The packaging is nice but will be going in the recycling bin. I have no space for that box!

Despite Hermes best efforts to lose it. That's good, they've only lost 1 of the 4 I've sent then.

First and last time I'm using them. Fort Max's one never even had any tracking info scanned in so the barcode was just coming up invalid.
Ben's hasn't been updated in a week since it hit the depot. Lucky I bought a spare for myself so I can send him that one in its place.

When they did turn up with it first I was out. Fortunately they'd emailed Mrs M with the tracking number and we were able to reschedule a delivery time. But err... only by contacting Hermes via a very clunky text interface on a website where they told me it would be impossible for them to drop it off at a Hermes drop off point around the corner. And of course the delivery person had 'forgotten' to include his contact details on the 'Missed You' card pushed through the door.
A bit of a saga for all.
I had something coming from DPD the day before. They gave me *four* easy to use options for rescheduling/rerouting even before they tried the first delivery! Far better.

It's ParcelForce and DPD I'm using to price up Andy K's before I send it. Hermes will not be used again and if I thought they cared I would leave a scathing report on social media.
Having had a quick look at their FB, its evident they don't give a shit.

Where did you guys get your Max's from? A1 toys in Glasgow were clearing SDCC stock out through their shop at the end of last year for something stupid. Some of our kind Glasvegas residents went in and grabbed some. It's now on their Amazon store for £70 www.amazon.co.uk/Fortress-Maximus-SDCC-2016-Exclusive/dp/B01JLRI0N6The retail version *was* briefly on the TK Maxx webstore for £65 the last few days so you may want to check local branches. |

What was different with the retail version? Is it the same minus the sword?

There's a couple of minor tweaks to the deco, it has the sword and the head also play a short clip of the Transformers theme tune when you press down and hold it in.

Didn't the SDCC one also have the Takara Fortress Titanmaster as opposed to the Cerebros version on the retail one?
